The eleventh Elvis soundtrack album Girl Happy contains the US No. 14 single Puppet On A String and the UK No. 19 Do The Clam. Some of the tracks appear to have been speeded up. (US:8 UK:7)
"Girl Happy is a fine uptempo pop number that still makes a person smile 40-plus years later. Elvis is in fine vocal form as he belts out what could have been a successful single release. It is vocals that like this for which Elvis should be remembered."
"Overall, the album presents a list of songs that are somewhat indifferent and even the most electrifying performance by Elvis does not attach any merit to them. But do hold on, because there are some excellent pieces as well, like the tender Puppet On A String, the sensual Do Not Disturb, the grooviest in terms of lyrics and music, Girl Happy, and the best of them all Spring Fever."
"Even though the overall soundtrack to Girl Happy is less than memorable, there are a couple of decent songs here, namely, Puppet On A String and Wolf Call."
"Do the Clam, one of the album's two hits will have you dancing the sensation that didn't quite sweep the nation."
"It's not a particularly good soundtrack. The single from the album was Do The Clam, which is arguably the worst song Elvis ever released as a single. The best song from the movie is Puppet On A String, which was eventually released as a single 'by popular demand' after it started receiving a lot of radio airplay. None of the other songs are very good, although some of them are kind of fun in a goofy way."
"The problem with Elvis soundtracks (not Elvis himself) is the material he was given. This one is for hardcore Elvis fans only."
"I think Puppet On A String has got to be my #1 favourite Elvis song. I hear it and cry. Brings back so many memories. No one could ever sing a song like Elvis."
